2. Volume The amount of space it takes up
Depends on the shape of the container.
This is because the particles of gas can
be compressed or squeezed together

3. Temperature Measure of how cold or hot something is or
measure of the movement of particles in an object
The higher the temperature- the more energy,
the more energy- the faster the particles

4. Pressure The amount of times a gas hits the inside of its container
More hits from the particles= more pressure

5. Example: Beach Ball vs Basketball
Can hold the same volume of gas but the particles inside the basketball hit its insides many, many more times. That is why it has more pressure than the beach ball.

6. Gas Volume, Temperature and Pressure are Related.
Boyle’s Law
As pressure increases volume of gas decreases
As pressure decreases volume of gas increases
Indirect Relationship
Crushing a balloon- increases pressure but
decreases volume.
Letting it go –decreases pressure and
increases volume

8. Astronauts and Boyle’s Law
Less Pressure
More Volume

9. Deep Sea Divers and Boyle’s Law
More Pressure
Less Volume

11. As temperature increases, the volume of gas increases
Charles’ Law
As temperature increases, the volume of gas increases
As temperature decreases the volume of gas decreases
Direct Relationship
Tires will look deflated in the winter
while they will look inflated in
the summer
